OFF TOPIC - Book Review - Health Benefits of Coconut water

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Sai Ram. I am sharing with you the review of an excellent book on the health

benefits of tender coconut water. This post may be considered OFF TOPIC as it is

not exactly Telugu or Bhakti, but good health is a requisite for Bhakti too.

 

This book will especially appeal to those in USA.

 

Regards.

Title: Coconut Water for health and healing

 

Author: Dr. Bruce Fife

 

Publisher: Piccadilly Books, Ltd.

 

ISBN: 978-0-941599- 66-5

 

Genre: Non-Fiction / Health

 

Presentation - Soft Cover

 

The water of a tender (green) coconut is a natural electrolyte, rich in

potassium and other minerals needed. It is thus a natural sports drink. I knew

that much before I accepted this book for review and was curious how a book

could be written about that!

 

I was in for a pleasant surprise when I received this beautifully printed book

with a colorful cover and found it well edited, printed well with a good

collection of photos to drive the points home.

 

In 10 chapters, a few appendixes and 223 pages, the author succeeds in educating

us about all the health benefits of coconut water. Did you know that Coconut

water cured the cataract of eyes of a person? Well, I did not know that! Did you

know that coconut water is a good way of detoxing without many problems

associated with plain water fast and fruit juice fasts?

 

There are many more uses of tender coconut water and many of the same benefits

are obtained from packaged coconut water too. Coconut milk is not to be confused

with coconut water. Dr. Fife has given several recipes at the end of this book

that use coconut water, coconut milk or desiccated coconut etc. Fresh tender and

mature coconuts are of course available in many parts of the world and can be

used.

 

All in all, this is a highly readable book on the several health benefits of

coconut water. I am lucky to be in a country where tender coconuts are sold

roadside and also packed coconut water is available in departmental stores just

in case, I need to travel to places where fresh coconuts may not be available.

 

Bruce Fife, N.D. is the author of 18 books including The Coconut Oil Miracle

(formerly titled The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil), Coconut Lover's Cookbook,

and Eat Fat, Look Thin, The Detox Book, Saturated Fat May Save Your Life, and

Health Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation etc. He is the director of the

Southern Colorado chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation and serves as the

editor of the Healthy Ways Newsletter.

 

I am glad to recommend this book for all interested in health of themselves and

or their family members, friends etc.
